Pompon is a ginger, inquisitive, and very smart Syrian hamster. One day, he gets a new owner and friend – a boy named Vanya. It turns out that life at home is much more interesting than life in a pet store. Many adventures await Pompon. Will he be able to save a sparrow from the clutches of the evil cat Pirate? Will he figure out how to keep the nasty ants away from the beautiful rose? Will he be able to win the favor of Vanya’s mother?
